FC Porto vs Feyenoord Prediction & Betting tips
Feyenoord needs a miracle on Thursday evening to bring about wintering in the Europa League. The team from Rotterdam is currently at the bottom of group G and must therefore win their last group match at FC Porto. That promises to be a tough job, because the Portuguese top club is also not yet assured of a place with the last 32 teams.
FC Porto:
With seven points from five group matches, FC Porto occupies second place in group G, so in the event of a victory over Feyenoord, the Portuguese are assured of wintering in the Europa League anyway. A tie may also be sufficient, as long as Young Boys cannot win at Rangers in the other group match. In the event of a defeat, however, the European fairy tale by Os Dragoes comes to a close on Thursday evening, which of course would mean a sporting and financial disaster.
FC Porto therefore knows what to do on Thursday evening. With five wins in the last six games, the blues and whites are doing well in the last few weeks, although they suffered a 1-1 draw at Belenenses last weekend in the Portuguese title fight. In the own Estadio do Dragao, however, the team is very strong. Not only did FC Porto win nine of its last ten home duels, it also managed to keep its goal clean in eight of those games. The experience of center defenders Ivan Marcano and Pepe does this team a good job.
Feyenoord:
European hibernation will probably be a difficult story for Feyenoord. Not only do the Rotterdammers have to win at FC Porto, but they also have to hope that in the other group match Young Boys lose at Rangers. At the time of writing, Unibet is prepared to pay no less than 17.10 times your stake for such a combination, which translates into a success rate of roughly 5.8 percent (1 / 17.10 * 100). Nothing is impossible, but Thursday night Feyenoord fans might be wise to light a candle and pray for help from above.
The arrival of Dick Advocaat has given Feyenoord a boost in the short term, since the red and whites have remained unbeaten since the appointment of De Kleine Generaal. The field game of the Rotterdammers often hurts the eyes, especially the away match against Vitesse (0-0) last weekend was sadly bad. However, you can hardly blame Advocaat for that, because Pep Guardiola, Zinedine Zidane and Jurgen Klopp would hardly be able to handle this player material either. With the exception of Steven Berghuis, this team has little to do at this level. In addition, there is a slight injury wave, which means that Advocaat will probably have to call on the backs of Tyrell Malacia and Lutsharel Geertruida again on Thursday evening. However, these two youth products are by no means comparable to the level of Rick Karsdorp and Ridgeciano Haps.
